When Xiao Jinang hugged Ming Zhou, he couldn't help but blush quietly, the tips of his ears moved slightly, and he wanted to spin in circles with joy. But at least he knew that this action was a bit strange, so he forced himself to endure it.
In fact, Ming Tian's thoughts were in a mess and his mind went blank, which led him to forget to push Xiao Jinang away and keep maintaining this somewhat too close posture with him.
But they couldn't hug each other forever. Just when Xiao Jinang felt that the hug seemed a little too long and was hesitating whether to let go, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated rapidly. It turned out to be a call from Bian Lin. .
Although Xiao Jinang had just arrived in the human world not long ago, he already had the potential to be a social animal. When he heard the ringing of his cell phone, he let go of Ming Zhou like an electric shock, and then hurriedly answered the phone: "Hello? Boss? Is there anything urgent?"
Bian Lin's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, almost deafening Xiao Jinang's ears: "Xiao Jinang! Don't you want to do this? What time is it now? If you don't come to the company to work, do you want to be fired? !”
Xiao Jinang's pupils shrank when he heard this: Oops! He was so busy taking the kitten to see a doctor today that he almost forgot that he had to go to work!
Xiao Jinang came to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, boss. I took the kitten to the hospital for medical treatment today. I forgot that I still have to go to work. I'll rush over right now!"
When Editor Lin heard this, he was so angry that he fell back. After reacting, he banged the table on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Jinang! Do I pay you wages or does the cat pay you wages?! You can even make up such a ridiculous reason? ! What are you doing here at three o'clock in the afternoon? Are you an undercover agent from the next door company
Xiao Jinang was scolded so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head. Hearing this, he felt aggrieved and explained: "Boss, the company next door to us sells leather bags. There is no business competition..."
Bian Lin is in menopause, like a human-shaped powder keg, ready to explode. Hearing this, he became even more angry: "You still dare to talk back?! Let me tell you Xiao Jinang, you don't want to do this job more than others! For the same price , I can find someone who is smarter than you! Someone who is smarter than you! Someone who is more diligent than you... Dududu—"
Before Editor Lin could finish his last sentence, the call was suddenly cut off.
Ming Zhou didn't know why, but he suddenly pulled out Xiao Jinang's cell phone and hung up the phone directly. He turned off the phone screen and handed it back to Xiao Jinang. He only said one sentence: "Change a job. This boss is not suitable for you."
Xiao Jinang did not expect that he would suddenly hang up the phone tomorrow, and blinked in surprise: "But... but wouldn't it be a bad idea to just hang up his phone..."
Ming Zhou said lightly: "It's not very good."
Regardless of the situation, it is rude to hang up on someone without permission. But tomorrow I heard the man on the other end of the phone scolding Xiao Jinang so much that I felt secretly uncomfortable, so that I made this rude move without thinking about it. This was something that had never happened before.
Tomorrow apologized: "I'm sorry, but no matter what the reason is, I suggest you don't call me and change your job as soon as possible."
Xiao Jinang was a little troubled: "But I don't know what I will do."
Ming Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "How much is your monthly salary?"
Xiao Jinang stretched out his hand and counted: "Three thousand and five."
This salary may be enough to make a living in a small town, but in a first-tier big city like City A, it is really not enough, and even the rent is a problem.
Ming Zhou asked again: "Then what's the monthly salary you want to find a job with?"
Xiao Jinang felt that he should be a small diamond with aspirations. After hearing this, he thought for a while, then tentatively stretched out his hand to count: "Three thousand and six?"
Ming Zhou lowered his eyes and thought deeply. He was thinking seriously about Xiao Jinang's work issues. Suddenly he heard his answer and was stunned for a moment. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "What?"
Xiao Jinang thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it seriously: "Three thousand and six."
Ming Zhou didn't know why, but he suddenly burst into laughter: "Why don't you go higher?"
Xiao Jinang bowed his head in grievance: "I have no academic qualifications."
Shen Liang said that the academic qualifications of his outstanding graduates from the Interstellar Transformation Academy were nothing on earth and no company would recognize them.
Mingzhou was actually not surprised by this answer. Maybe it was because Xiao Jinang's thoughts were too... simple? It doesn’t look like someone who has gone through nine years of compulsory education.
"It doesn't matter."
After much hesitation tomorrow, he finally said this: "If... if you don't have a place to live, you can stay at my house temporarily."
Although Xiao Jinang lived with Qiuqiu, he was inexplicably moved when he heard Ming Zhou's words. He thought it was strange, he obviously had a place to live, why would he stay at home until tomorrow, but the words he said went against his thoughts, and he asked nervously and expectantly: "Is it really okay?"
When Ming Zhou heard his cautious tone, his heart suddenly softened for a moment, as if he felt like being brushed by feathers, and he hummed softly: "Okay..."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
The cat is still receiving infusion in the clinic and cannot be moved for the time being. Tomorrow, I entrusted a nurse to take care of her, and then went home with Xiao Jinang. When walking into the elevator, Ming Zhou asked for the third time as if to confirm: "Don't you really need to go back and pack your luggage?"
Xiao Jinang was in a state of excitement about "moving to a new home". When he heard this, he shook his head vigorously and his hair jumped: "No, no, no, I have nothing to pack."
He originally wanted to express that he was "debt-free", but he misunderstood the meaning tomorrow. He only thought that Xiao Jinang's life was probably very hard, and he didn't even have personal clothes and daily necessities.
Mingzhou slowly inserted his hand into his coat pocket, paused for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "I have to be on duty tomorrow, and there happens to be a shopping mall next to me. Let me buy you some changes of clothes. I can't see, so I don't know what style you like. How about going together?”
Xiao Jinang blinked when he heard this, a little surprised: "Will you buy me clothes?"
Ming Zhou nodded. Although his face was calm, his hands hidden in his pockets were slightly sweaty. He was worried that Xiao Jinang would not want to accept such "help" from him.
However, he was obviously overthinking it. There was no word "reject" in Xiao Jinang's dictionary. Hearing this, his eyes narrowed with joy, and the dimples on the side of his cheeks became more obvious. He said in a cheerful tone: "Okay, okay! Let’s go shopping for clothes together!”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly became shy and whispered shyly: "Doctor Ming, you are so kind to me. I like you the most! When I make money in the future, I will also buy you things!"
This is probably the most straightforward way the system can express love. One "most" is not enough, and two "most" are not enough. Three "most" can barely describe one ten thousandth of that person.
Little did he know that one fleeting word completely threw Ming Zhou into disarray.
Ming Zhou didn't know how to respond to Xiao Jinang's words, and felt panicked and confused. At this moment, the elevator just arrived at the floor and made a "ding" sound, like a life-saving signal.
Ming Tian walked out of the elevator as if he was running away. Because of his panic, he almost fell in this familiar place. Xiao Jinang quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands, wondering why Ming Zhou left in such a hurry: "Doctor Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Ming Zhou shook his head in embarrassment: "It's okay, I..."
He finally found a suitable reason to cover up his behavior: "My legs hurt a little, and I couldn't stand firm just now."
Xiao Jinang then remembered that Mingtian's leg seemed to be injured, and supported him and said, "Then let's go into the house quickly, sit down and rest."
Ming Zhou took out the key and opened the door. The heat on his face finally dissipated a little. When he walked into the entrance hall, he didn't know what he thought of. He fumbled and took out a spare key from the small drawer next to him and handed it to Xiao Jinang: "This is Remember to take the key with you when you go out."
Xiao Jinang took the key and put it into his pocket out of habit. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not safe and easy to drop. Finally, he put the money into his energy ball, patted his pocket like a treasure and said, "I will definitely Will take good care of it!”
Although I can't see it tomorrow, I can already imagine Xiao Jinang's expression and tone. He must be careful and precious. He folded the guide stick and placed it on the entrance hall, and asked aloud: "Are you hungry? I'm going to make some food."
In fact, neither of them had eaten a single meal since morning. Ming Zhou didn't know that Xiao Jinang didn't need to eat, so he naturally thought that he was hungry, so he groped into the kitchen to prepare for cooking without waiting for Xiao Jinang to answer.
Xiao Jinang lay beside the door frame and looked at him quietly, showing his furry head: "Doctor Ming, is there anything I can do for you?"
Normal cooking in the morning is actually very simple. Just boil water in a pot, then throw in the ingredients and noodles. Eat it after it is cold. As you can imagine, the taste will not be much better. If you really ask him if he needs help, he actually doesn't know. "It's okay. Just sit on the sofa for a while."
Xiao Jinang: "Is it really unnecessary?"
Ming Zhou: "No need."
Xiao Jinang thought for a while, then leaned by the door and asked, "Doctor Ming, can I eat the snacks in the bag?"
He stared at the snacks inside for a long time.
Ming Chong was washing vegetables when he heard this and couldn't help but smile: "You can eat."
I originally bought it for him.
Xiao Jinang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately opened a bag of potato chips. However, he was still worried that he would cut his hands while cooking tomorrow, so he ate potato chips and stood aside to watch him cook. In the quiet kitchen, apart from the sound of chopping vegetables, there was the sound of Xiao Jinang eating potato chips like a hamster. .
Ming Zhou doesn't like too noisy environments, but unexpectedly, he doesn't hate the sound. Instead, it makes the lifeless room a little more lively.
Tomorrow I chopped some tomatoes and washed some vegetables. When the water in the pot was boiling until it was warm, I threw in all the ingredients, including the noodles.
Cooking this way may not necessarily be the most delicious, but it is the safest for a blind person. They couldn't touch anything that was too hot, just like tomorrow, most of the food he ate didn't taste very good.
Mingzhou said to Xiao Jinang: "My cooking skills may not be very good. If you can't eat later, just order takeout."
Xiao Jinang was addicted to potato chips and couldn't help himself: "It doesn't matter, I like to eat everything you make."
#The silly little system back then has learned many human love words by itself without any teacher#
Ming Tian vaguely remembered that the potato chips he bought were all extra-large bags. Hearing the sound of Xiao Jinang eating, he was a little worried that it would be bad for the other party to eat too many snacks, so he hesitated and asked: "How much have you eaten?"
Xiao Jinang misunderstood what he meant: "Do you want to eat too?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and dug through the potato chips that were broken into pieces for a long time. Finally, he found a piece that was still intact. He then handed it to Mingtian's mouth and reminded him loudly: "Ah, open your mouth."
Ming Zhou subconsciously leaned back and was about to say that he would not eat, but Xiao Jinang directly fed the potato chips in. He was forced to open his mouth and finished the crumbled potato chip with a slight embarrassment.
Xiao Jinang was like a big dog, leaning over and asking: "Is it delicious?"
Ming Zhou nodded awkwardly: "It's delicious..."
There was a little potato chip powder on his mouth, which was particularly obvious on his fair chin. Ming Zhou also noticed something, and was about to find a tissue to wipe it with, but his face suddenly felt hot, and he was held by someone's hand, and then Xiao Jinang's deep voice sounded in his ears: "Shh, don't move."
Xiao Jinang gently wiped off the powder on Ming Tian's lips with his fingertips, and reminded in a low voice: "There is something on your mouth."
Ming Zhou noticed his approach, her breathing stopped for a moment, and her heart suddenly started beating wildly. After Xiao Jinang wiped the corners of his mouth, he originally wanted to let go, but for some reason, he stared at Ming Zhou's light-colored lips, as if he was possessed, and couldn't look away.
The kitchen light was a warm yellow, the sun was setting outside the window, and the gorgeous sunset rendered large areas of pink and purple, so the entire sky was filled with ambiguous tones. Ming Zhou didn't know if he noticed something, but he unconsciously took a step back, completely unaware that the stove was behind him. So he retreated step by step, being forced into a blind corner by himself and Xiao Jinang.
When his lower back suddenly touched the cold stove, he couldn't help but be startled for a moment, which seemed to symbolize the cutting off of his escape route.
Tomorrow nervously said: "Xiao Jin'ang..."
He thought he had uttered three words and called out a person's name, but in fact the voice coming out of his throat was as weak as his current courage. He could only see the shape of his lips and could not hear anything.
But Xiao Jinang knew that he was calling him, so he responded softly: "Well..."
Xiao Jinang's hands were still holding the cool and delicate side of Ming Tian's face. The skin seemed to have magic power, attracting him and not letting him go. He unconsciously rubbed the side of Ming Zhou's face with his fingertips, and his eyes fell on the other person's tight lips. Something seemed to be stirring in his heart, wanting to kiss her.
It's an instinct engraved in genes,
An instinct engraved in human genes.
The system shouldn't have this kind of thing. When they were originally created, this kind of program was never programmed.
A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Jinang's eyes, and he suddenly didn't know what to do. He slowly lowered his eyes, his eyes falling on Ming Ming's nervous and trembling eyelashes. Suddenly he couldn't help but leaned forward a little bit, and whispered: "Doctor Ming..."
The voice was rarely full of struggle. It's like a person drowning in the deep sea trying to swim to the shore again and again to regain his consciousness, and then being drowned by the oncoming waves again and again until he has no power to resist.
